Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Horse / Pony (Cartoon)" video after each step to draw at your own pace.

Written step-by-step video tutorial:

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Lightly sketch a curved line for the cartoon horse's eye. When you get the shape of the eye right, darken the line. Make the line thicker too. The line should almost curl into a circle. Add a few bumps along the right side of the line to represent eyelashes.

Step 2: Inside the eye, draw a small circle for the iris. The iris should be close to the right edge of the pony's eye.

Step 3: Inside the iris, on the top, right side, draw a tiny circle to represent glare. In the middle of the iris, draw a big dot for the horse's pupil.

Step 4: Above the eye, draw a short, thick curved line for the eyebrow.

Step 5: To the left of the eye, draw a curved, vertical line for the front part of the cartoon horse's head. Pay close attention to the distance between this line and the eye. Don't draw them too close together.
